"Hello, Ah Jie ah ~"
"Yeah?"
"Hey is Jamie ah"
"Erh, Jamie?"
"Jamie from Starhub lar aiyo"

Opps, been almost a year since we met or chat, she is an ex-colleague from StarHub. She called to check on what I was doing and well, brought along a crazy news! A job for me. It's really great because Geary and Angela are at OCBC too, so I'd already have friends. Moreover I've been helping Jamie on stuff before and the tasks entrusted to me are really what I used to enjoy doing. I should start Jan 2010 @ OCBC with their Marketing team. I'm in a bank doing marketing but well internal transfers are much easier eh?

I'm really excited to be working again, with them. School will not be an issue due to the fix 9 - 5 working hrs! Pay wise, I'd expect it to be $1800 or substantially more than what I used to be getting at StarHub of $1500.

Gone are the worries and anxiety of my cash flow issues... Can't wait!

The Pioneer LX55 Bluray Player Review

Pioneer Corporations, once the leading company for Home Theatre Systems, Display and Optical players, began to falter when the likes of Samsung, LG, Sharp etc came into picture with lower end products for the mass consumer. Pioneer, who steer clear form the niche market, producing high end products, fell to it's knees, withdrawing from the TVs market and started a joint venture with Sharp, resulted in absolute catastrophe. Pioneer fanboys nicknamed the products "Sharpioneer" A bold direction, right or wrong, there's too much points to take, although myself would 200% standby their decision to continue with making highend products previously, even though they failed eventually. Anyhow, ever since that catastrophic "Sharpioneer" released, tons of consumers ditched their players within days of purchases, the management finally woke the FUCK UP. Director Product Planning and Marketing Pioneer USA, Chris Walker started visiting multiple online forums, gat...
While caking, someone pop right into my head. Anyway, my top strength is: 1. Ideation: loves associating and providing ideas 2. Command: leadership, loves to put his ideas through 3. Futurist: star-trek 4. Individualisation: view individual base on strength weakness, not stereotyping 5. Learner: keen to learn In short, I'm a futuristic creative open commander! Sounds awesome eh? Strength Finder 2.0 is a book that only concentrate on strengths ($39.00) zero about weaknesses so all you hear are good stuff. ======= Individualisation Anyway back to my caking session. Mr Ibrahim, came to my mind. He was quite a good looking Indian back in my primary school days. I've always tried to protect him though I admit to join in bullying him once in a while. Sometimes he'd come to me "begging" to help him or lend him money with his hands in "praying mode". I took pity of him ever since he did that once and when he told me "All i got is 40cents a day and they sto...

Mid-Life Crisis - Realization

Even before I left Deutsche Bank and embarked on the uncertain journey into SMBC, I had already pondered about what lies ahead and how should I plan my journey around my career. I was comfortable at Deutsche and simply wanted to stay and do the same but at SMBC I had bigger dreams. The role itself had a workplan to provide identity, short term and long term goals the team tries to achieve.  I had a blast, learned a lot, the team was almost perfect and we compliment and cover each others' strengths and weaknesses. All good things must come to an end, but I hadn't thought it would begin to end like this, still I was prepared since he tendered last year. I do not really wish to say much, everyone have their priorities and freedom of choice and if they had decided to go, I wish them well. I used to think we should stick through thick and thin and complete the goals and objectives we had set out to achieve before leaving each other on our seperate paths. I used to think that a gentl...
